Tired of being served the shit sandwich!

I wish people would just cut straight to the crap instead of continuing to serve the “shit sandwich”. Am I not adult enough to hear the word NO? Do we live in this society that people are so afraid of offending other people that we have to sugar coat everything? Honestly, it is exhausting. If you are not familiar with what a shit sandwich is let the Urban Dictionary educate you. To put it simply it is a way to deliver rejection in the middle of two slices of nice. So, I live in a community of single family homes which connects to a 55+ community that has a community center with an indoor pool. The adjoining community never had a problem emailing me when I was organizing our yard sale and wanting to get in on date, time, advertising, etc but when it comes to sharing and caring from the other side there seems to be a sense of entitlement from those in their golden years. But, whatever, it is their area and they can do what they choose. Anyway, I recently became certified to teach a fitness class that is great for all ages and fitness levels and thought where better than to start in my own community. I was very excited to introduce this as a FREE class, even if only once a month, to their residents. I thought this would be a great way for me to practice and get a buzz going around town. I sent a message on social media to find out who I would contact and then went through the appropriate channels to contact who I assume is a retiree that is president of the association. Needless to say it took 10 days to get a shit sandwich of a response.

Thanks for thinking of us. (BREAD)

Just met with the Board and we decided that our facility cannot accommodate a program such as you suggest.

Regularly scheduled events keep the Center busy and various requests from residents need to be accommodated.

Presently, a couple of water based exercise programs run here every other day for residents only.

We wish you well in your venture. (BREAD)

Trust me, I could understand if we lived in a bustling city but this “center” is not as busy as they boast. I call bullshit on not being able to carve out 1 hour per month to offer a FREE fitness class to their own residents. Just another way to keep fences up….sad. Thanks for being neighborly. #IHOP
